As many of you know, we here at FishWithJD are suckers for a couple things: Boats and good, fresh ideas. Well, when we stumbled upon Klamath Boats’ latest creation, the 16-foot Swimbait Boat, we kinda thought it was the best of both worlds.
The slick little vessel is an entirely new take on the two-man bass rig. It’s economical to run, costs less than $10K and, thanks to the high bow design, the SBB can handle infinitely rougher water than a traditional bass boat. It’s also so light you could probably tow it with a golf cart. Cool idea, huh? Here’s a closer look…
The SBB is 16′ 1″ in length, has a 77-inch beam and a dry weight of only 535 pounds, yet it’s plenty roomy for two guys to fish all day out of. Maybe it doesn’t have all the Gucci stuff of a $50,000 bass boat, there’s plenty features here for hard-core anglers, like 9+ foot locking rod storage, livewells, a bow drop box to keep all your stuff organized and your choice of choice of a pedal, flush or top deck mount trolling motor.
The innovative swimbait storage box mounted under the deck is also pretty trick — it allow you to hang all those crazy expensive rubber trout vertically while keeping their tails from warping…
